this is literally where "it" all started for us -

I mentioned last week that Just the way you are by Billy Joel is on our list of love songs.
James Bond Island, Thailand
Some other songs on our list are:
- Wonderful tonight – Eric Clapton
- Glory of love –
- Have I told you lately that I love you – Rod Stewart
- The way you look tonight - Michael Buble (don't you love that last scene from My Best Friend's Wedding?! Oh, I love it!)
- Don't dream it's over - Crowded House (have you noticed how many references to kitchens in their songs???)
- How deep is your love - The Bee Gees
- Crazy for you - Madonna
- Nobody does it better - Carly Simon
- Against all odds - Phil Collins
- All out of love - Air Supply
- Don't let the sun go down on me - Elton John & George Michael
- Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler
- Nothing compares to you - Sinead O'Connor
- For the first time - Rod Stewart
- True colours - Cyndi Lauper
- Take my breath away - Berlin (The Top Gun version!)
And then songs I absolutely can't stand because, even for me, they're too soppy :)
- The love song from Titanic
- I will always love you - Whitney Houston
And to end off, some trivia.
When D and I first got together, he rewrote lyrics to Sting's "Moon over Bourbon Street" for me. Can you see why I fell hard for him? Remember I am easily delighted. I still have that page written on an "I love Rhodes" exam pad in a memory box somewhere :)
Is my list jogging your love songs memory? :)
Do you like any of these songs? Absolutely hate them? :)
Your songs remind me of the soft rock/oldies station! :-P
ReplyDeleteI think they're nice songs but not for me.
Jesse and I only have one song really. It's "God Blessed the Broken Road". I prefer it sung by Selah rather than Rascal Flatts. It's a better depiction of our relationship.
The other song that I joke about being our song is "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. I imagone that someone is singing it about me! :-)
You guys are utterly adorable! I do love those love songs and hate your hate list, although I will admit to singing constantly and the Whitney Houston one is a good one to practice the pipes with!
ReplyDeleteBut my real favorite music is by Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Depeche Mode (Somebody is my favorite love song from them!). Sometimes I feel like my usual music list is that of a gay man, LOL!
OH the mush factory! I love it. I'm not big on love songs at all. I'll gladly sing along with them in a mocking fashion though. I spare you the age bit and just say that I was a little girl back then! LOL! The songs that get me are the daddy/daughter songs that my husband listens too and tears up at. So touching to see such a big man get all mushy.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced you two don't age! You two look the same as you did in college!
Mandibula, those pics at Rhodes were taken in 2006 - we went back for a friend's wedding and had to go visit the campus - completely deserted as it was the December break :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had a scanner I'd show you pics when we were REALLY young :)
